---DEPRACATED---

Thank you for making your way onto my GitHub. After taking a web development class, I decided to take a stab at a little software. This is a side project I've been working on for OriginTrail Nodes. Please feel free to contribute and make a pull request for new features.

A huge thank you to bbnm for the API Documentation and the TraceLabs team for creating this wonderful ecosystem.

THIS BOT IS HOSTED LOCALLY ON YOUR MACHINE JUST LIKE HOUSTON

A.) Open Terminal/Command Prompt

B.) Execute the following:

cd Desktop

Once you are navigated to the Desktop, clone the repo and navigate into the folder and to install dependencies type in cmd:

git clone https://github.com/bottomshorter/OriginTrail-Node-Watch.git

cd OriginTrail-Node-Watch

npm install

Go to your Telegram application, and start a new conversation with 'BotFather' via https://t.me/botfather

Create a new bot by using the command /newbot

Give it a username | ex.. "OriginTrailNodeWatch"

Give the bot a "bot" name | ex.. OriginTrailNodeBot

After your bot has been created, BotFather will send you a 'token' for access to the Telegram HTTP API, and it will also send you a link to talk to your bot.

NOTE: DO NOT SHARE YOUR API KEY WITH ANYONE FOR SECURITY REASONS

If you are using a code editor proceed to step 8a, if not and you are using command console, skip to step 8b.

Go into the cloned repo folder and edit line 6 of the index.js file and change APIKEY to the one generated by BotFather, leave the (' ')

Line 6 should look similar to this in order to be functional:

const bot = new Telegraf('525312139:Blahblah462Z0oy7ZpoBLAHuYCcFBLAHBLAH')

Navigate into the cloned folder and do the following edit index.js with notepad:

Then find the line with:

const bot = new Telegraf('APIKEY')

Replace APIKEY with the one generated by BotFather and it will look similar to this:

const bot = new Telegraf('525312139:Blahblah462Z0oy7ZpoBLAHuYCcFBLAHBLAH')

Save the file and go into command console and type: npm start

After your console says 'bot is running... Start a conversation (using the link generated in step 6) with your bot and type /start to begin using the bot to add your nodes

If you get this error, please make sure you are pressing save after your APIKEY is put into notepad / the code editor.

Since this is in alpha, you will have to keep your command console/terminal open during the use of your bot. Further versions will guide the user how to install and just run on your OTNODE

You may have noticed that every time your command console / terminal is exited, your bot will not respond or function, and it will also forget which nodes you added. To solve this, look below.

If you would like to add your nodes into the NodesWatched array so you don't have to add them each time you start up the bot, just added your ERC725 Identities into the NodesWatched array with following syntax:

var NodesWatched = ['ERC725 ID #1', 'ERC725 ID #2' , 'ERC725 ID #X', '...']

Before you update your node, remember to copy and paste your APIKEY into NotePad so you can repeat step 7 through step 8a or 8b depending on which one you did.

If you preloaded nodes into the bot you should also copy and paste your array of nodes into NotePad too

In order to update the node execute:

git pull
